What you're watching

"True Blood" fans have been frantic, and who can blame them? Hunky gentleman vampire Bill, who just proposed to his much-traumatized girlfriend, Sookie, has been kidnapped, subdued with a dreaded silver chain around his neck and dragged away to parts unknown. The horror!

But hey, chin up, fans. Bill's been spotted at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, looking none the worse for wear.

It was actually a goth-accented premiere party for "True Blood's" third season, launching this Sunday night, where Stephen "Bill Compton" Moyer, with on-screen-and-real-life girlfriend Anna "Sookie Stackhouse" Paquin nearby, held court with friends and VIPs.

They didn't let loose with any spoilers about the upcoming season, at least not to The Times, or about their off-screen relationship. Paquin did confirm what the fans have already guessed -- Sookie, who's a mind-reading diner waitress with mysterious special powers, will be revealed for what/who she really is in the coming weeks. That's one of many details that viewers want to know.
